RBS50 dropping

RBS50 dropping

The rbs50 is dropping regularly. I have firmware 2.7.0.70.  The unit is about 45 feet away. I have it connected to wired network. I can reconnect it by pressing the button on both ends but after a while it shows not connected again on the IOS app. I have no idea what else to try. I hate to throw this in the garbage and get a new system, but I have to have it working. 

Model: RBS50Y|High Performance AC3000 Outdoor WiFi Mesh Extender and Add-on Satellite

Re: RBS50 dropping

Try putting the RBS a bit closer to the RBR. Try 30-35 feet.

Has a full power OFF of the RBR and RBS for 1 minute then back ON...

Disable Daisy Chain on the RBR if it's enabled...

Re: RBS50 dropping

I didn't see the wired connection you mentioned. 

 

Is the RBS directly connected to the RBR or is there a switch in between the RBR and RBS? If there is, what is the Mfr and model# of this switch?

To eliminate the other possibilities I have left it unplugged from the switch.
